Robust and Flexible Business Printing
Capabilities

Productivity and overall efficiency in the office are crucial to the
success of any business environment. Helping users to easily manage
print jobs from virtually anywhere in their home or small office is the Canon
PIXMA MX922 Wireless1 Office All-In-One Printer.
To help maximize user productivity and reduce overall printing costs for
large-volume jobs, the PIXMA MX922 printer has a 35-page Automatic
Duplex Document Feeder, and utilizes a high-capacity 250-sheet paper
cassette to help limit the disruption of reloading paper. The sleek,
compact design can easily fit in most home offices and handle a range of
printing jobs, including CD or DVD projects due to the Direct Disc Print
capabilities, which removes the need for additional and sometimes
expensive software solutions for printing labels.

The Canon PIXMA iX6820 Wireless1 Inkjet Business
Printer is an excellent office solution for users looking to print
and produce materials that are a combination of text and graphics. Ideal
for business projects requiring graphic detail in color and
black-and-white, the printer features five individual ink tanks, and

for clients or other business ventures. The printer's Quiet Mode2
also helps ensure the device fits in seamlessly with any business
location without interruption.

the ability to send scanned documents and forward received faxes to a
recipient through email or a file server to help improve office
workflows. Additionally, a high capacity cartridge is available as a
replacement consumable so users can also enjoy a lower cost per page as
compared to the standard cartridge.

the Color imageCLASS MF8580Cdw Laser Multifunction Printer features
convenient print, copy, fax and scan capabilities in a fully wireless1

With the rise of telecommuting and the mobile workplace, Canon's new Color
imageCLASS LBP7110Cw printer features built-in wireless1
capabilities so documents can be printed from virtually anywhere in
their home or office. To accomplish this, users will gain access to a
brand new software-based wireless setup tool that takes customers
through the process of finding and connecting to the appropriate
network. The imageCLASS LBP7110Cw printer also offers mobile
connectivity, so users can print directly from a smartphone or tablet
through the Canon Mobile Printing app3. Specifically catering
